Hey Joe, I have had a few chats with Rusty... albeit not directly regarding a dome. As of today, they do not currently offer a dome. Unless you are getting an optical quality dome, or you are really worried about hydrodynamics, the flat fronts that are offered with their hull are great. Side note: A...

Very Sharp looking!

Love the 3D printed components!
I really need to get me a printer!

I am curious, why so many wires?

Status Update! So... I have been so excited to get my BlueRobotics T100's up and running... that I haven't even touched them yet... sad... I know... But I have had some time to tinker with some other stuff. Today I got my Easytransfer Library back up and running, and tested. I wanted to make sure I ...

Very neat design! I like the concept of the Wal-Mart Container Hull! I can see the advantage, given the orientation in the water... a little leak, and the water will stay low in the compartment! Very clever!

Can't wait to see some of the details!

Really like the gripper!
